Global Recipes from the Global Classroom

Welcome to the Big Eat!

Nord Anglia Education schools are incredibly diverse places. Our students represent over 100 different nationalities and the Global Classroom is somewhere for them to share and celebrate their varied experiences and passions.

The Big Eat gave students the opportunity to share their favourite recipes with each other, whether they were a family favourite or a local delicacy.

This recipe book showcases the best of our students’ culinary ideas andexperience.

The recipes are divided into three different sections:

• SavouryEats• SweetTreats• WartimeDelights(theseweretheoutcomeofaspecialprojectonWorld

We hope you enjoy looking through the recipes. Why not try your hand at making some of them yourself?

French macaroonsByShreyaSeshan,TheBritishInternationalSchoolBudapest

Ingredients

• 2 cups powdered sugar• ¼ cup of regular sugar• Almond flour•Salt• Food colouring• 3 egg whites

Method

I chose this recipebecause it’s one of my most favourite recipes in the world

and is one of my family favourites. It’s also really fun

to make!

1. Take your powdered sugar and sieve into a big mixing bowl. A tip is not to do all of the sugar at the same time – please make sure that you don’t get any big lumps or your cookies won’t be smooth.

2. No sift the almond flour too.

3. Lightly whisk the flour and sugar together until it’s properly combined and set this aside.

4. Take your egg whites and put them into another big mixing bowl. Measure out ¼ cup of sugar and gradually add it to the egg, blending it with a beater on medium speed. Beat the mixture for 8 minutes in total.

5. Add a pinch of salt and your food colouring. When macaroons bake they go lighter, so you need to add more than you would usually. Mix on medium speed.

6. Now slowly mix the almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the coloured meringue. Add it slowly, about 1/3 cup at a time, folding it in gently. The mixture should be thick, but still move.

7. Take a frosting bag and put a littlecircletipontheend.Scoopthe batter into the bag and evenly pipe your cookies onto a baking tray. Leave about an inch of space between them. Tap the baking tray on the table so all the air bubbles come out.

8. Let them sit for about 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 150ºC.

9. Putthemacaroonsonthetoprack and bake them for 20 minutes.

10. Take your macaroons out of the oven and fill them with any filling –Irecommendraspberryjam.Ihopeyouguysenjoyedreading!
